Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita Sastraٳṣcٳٲ (दुष्चित्�) refers to “evil intention�, according to Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra (chapter 41).—Accordingly, “[Digression on a case brought against the Buddha; B. The defense].—[4. Insults to the Disciples].—The Buddha had hard words for the Bhikṣus and treated them like fools (dzܰṣa). There are two kinds of hard words: i) insult coming from an evil intention (ṣcٳٲ); ii) insult out of compassion for beings and with the intention of converting them (貹峦Բ). In the person detached from desire (virakta), there is no insult coming from a bad intention; how then would there be one in the Buddha? It is out of pity for beings and in order to convert them that the Buddha had these strong words. [...]�.
